In a world of increasing variability and complexity, companies seem to persist in using outdated and inadequate organizational models and work patterns. Despite the available technologies and the most innovative time management techniques, we work more and more, with less results and more stress.
Lean Lifestyle Strategy addresses the key problem of every professional, manager, and entrepreneur leading companies of all sizes: how to combine the need to produce more and more results, in less and less time, working better, and leading, at the same time, a lifestyle that generates prosperity and well-being.
The time is ripe for lean work to become a strategy to achieve a true work–life balance and express the best of people in the company without having to choose between operational efficiency or personal fulfilment.
In this book, in addition to numerous examples, tools, and step-by-step methodologies, useful to begin to apply independently the principles of the Lean Lifestyle Strategy, you will find collected the testimonies of entrepreneurs and managers who reveal the "behind-the-scenes" of successful cases in this new direction, including Campari, Cromology, ELT Group, Ferretti Group, Labomar, Lucchini RS, Marcegaglia, Orogel, Poste Italiane, Sammontana, Siemens Italia, Stanley Black & Decker, and Streparava.
Through the evolution of the way we work and do business, it is possible to leave a tangible mark that starting from the company boundaries touches ourselves and the people who work with us, until positively influencing the society and the environment where we live.
